CLI Example

In this example the usage of the CLI of PHRINGE is demonstrated. A synthetic data set for an Earth twin orbiting a Sun twin at 10 pc is generated from two input files. Note that no spectrum file is provided for the planet and, thus, a blackbody spectrum will be generated for it.

Download the Configuration File

Open a terminal and enter the following command to download the configuration file:

wget -O config.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pahuber/PHRINGE/main/docs/_static/config.py

Run PHRINGE

To generate the synthetic data run the following command in the terminal:

phringe config.py

Output

This will create a directory called out_{timestamp} containing a FITS file with the synthetic photometry data and a copy of the two input files. Opening the FITS file in a FITS viewer will reveal (due to the randomness involved) something similar to the following image:

Here, the brightness corresponds to the photon counts, while the x-axis corresponds to time and the y-axis to wavelength /spectral channel.
